UP physics major Joseph Carlo Candare was found guilty of animal cruelty and was slapped with a 2,000-peso fine. Likewise, the judge barred him from eating siopao for the rest of his life.

After being found guilty of animal cruelty, Joseph Carlo Candare is now serving his sentence – two months of volunteer work for the Philippine Animal Welfare Society or PAWS where he’s tasked to take care of some 200 cats. Sa mga pusa d’yan sa PAWS… ingat!

Ouch, miawow, so much botox hurts as much as barbed comments.
At least it ensures that you smile when asked about your husbands infidelity and the new young blonde he has recruited to sell him worlwide.
At least he is turning up to congress for 1 day – for his party – before he goes back to los angeles with his children for a holiday!!! And discussions with his new pr girl!!
He makes even more of a joke of philippine politics. which means he is a shoe in for senator next time around especially seeing chavit ‘thug’ singson sticking closer than a leech sucking blood.
gambling, drugs and boxing ( women) there is no better mentor

I cannot wait to see the form of civil disobedience that the bishops, priests and nuns will take if the RH Bill will pass. Definitely not a tax boycott because they are not paying any and have been free-loading on the Filipinose. And will they be checking every bedroom, motel room and bush to ensure that no Catholic is using condom?

i cannot wait to see if ever, how will this bill be implemented,
questions like, who will be the recipients of those paraphernalia,
all citizens rich and poor? from age what? 12 years or even
lower if they already had their first menstruation and capable
of getting pregnant?

and how will lagman, baraquel et al be sure that those who have
availed will be able to use them religiously to avoid pregnancy?
any sanctions if ever?

as for me, this is a waste of 3 billions, billions that can be used
instead in building health centers and schools in the remotest
places…

Please see how it is being done in other countries (through Google)– from Azerbaijan to Zambia or even in Singapore or US –since only the Philippines and the Vatican do not provide universal access to RH services. Of course the Vatican should have it too considering the penchant of many bishops and priests for young boys who may Aids from them.

like your vantage point, senior… it is all the argument vs that s… bill, nothing less; nothing more… all the high profile, “woman’s rights” rationales are mere fronts to the hidden agenda which is funding; funds, cash, so these insatiable lawmakers of ours will have another oil well from which to squander; nay, perpetuate plunder.

Pacman the poster boy for the ‘ no to rh bill’ community.
He is absolutely entitled to his opinion but curious how this sits with his fight against poverty with the population predictions for philippines showing as one of the highest in the world and extreme poverty will not be far behind.

anon for some reason i don’t find posts like this amusing, lighthearted, or humorous like PH’s. Somehow i find it spiteful and elitist, a with good dose of a “holier than thou” attitude even. But then, that’s my opinion. You’re entitled to yours, so fire away!

The country will soon have a ribbon cutting president and an unelected prime minister. Is this the administrations version of charter change.
At least no hoper p-noy can slip back into his self-indulgent do nothing life.

the news that mar would be the chief of staff of noynoy was confirmed even before mar lost in the elections ^_^ let’s give it a try, maybe he can change the aquino administration for the better… but don’t expect that much because since the election, he is running the show from the shadows…

i feel sorry for the cat, is there a link between animal cruelty and sociopathic tendencies?

thanks sir ph for the picture of the dog, at least china did something to prevent the proliferation of stray dogs due to irresponsible owners…

@phreddox
my main point is that he is selling the subject of rh like one of his tacky product endorsements.
he is the supposed politician and should show more gravitas and a complete understanding of all the issues particularly because his voice carries more weight than it actually warrants. and that is the secondary issue. if popularity and personality decide strategic issues – which it currently does – rather than debate and discussion then the country will reap what it sows

Thats the tragedy if people rely on celebrities for their opinion instead of doing due diligence and forming an informed one. Fortunately, nobody seems to be buying Pacquio’s opinion on RH except the bishops apparently desperate enough to cling to guy so clueless on the issue. In fact he is appearing every inch a pathetic clown with her mother as the pathetic sidekick.

Hi anon, your issue with Manny Pacquiao seems to be because he has the stature and the clout to swing public opinion, he should refrain from speaking or “show more gravitas”? That I find hard to accept. Granted that “popularity and personality decide strategic issues” (also elections) in our country, it does not take away from his right to make his stand on certain issues he believes in and with it, sway people to his side (stature or no stature). It’s all part of the battle. To continue with the battle analogy, do you refrain from using your tank because the other side only has .22 caliber pistols?
Don’t take me wrong. I believe something needs to be done about our country’s population issues and the RH bill can be a way of mitigating it. Confronted with the Pacquiao endorsement, the proponents of the RH bill should simply find other ways to neutralize this and get their message across.

Unfortunately he was shooting himself and his comrades with that 22 pistol instead of downing the enemy. Not necessarily a good battle plan. Since he has the money then maybe he should use this to fund the campaign (if the bishops and priests will not pilfer it) or use it to upgrade his weaponry
